WHERE did the activists lose their way? Part of the blame has to lie with the alumni who campaigned to place their insurgents on the Board of Overseers. While the product of a sincere desire to have a say in decision-making, the alumni movement has also drawn students to the governance red herring. Divestment activists who once built shanties now stuff envelopes urging alumni to vote for Peter Wood for Overseer. In the sixties, radical college students learned to distrust their elders.

As these images flashed around the world, soiling the reputation of the once vaunted Israel Defense Force, Jerusalem quickly saw the dark side of its enlightened media policy.

Last week Kim resigned as party chief to smooth the way for the P.P.D. to rejoin forces with the Reunification Democratic Party. That party's leader, Kim Young Sam, 60, stepped down in a similar gesture last month. With elections for the 299-seat National Assembly scheduled for April 26, the P.P.D. chief said...
